The old “It’s an ill wind that blows no good*’ This has. in this instance, an a worn pa cing maxium, ‘‘Make a virtue of necessity.” Wo have had hard times aud hard limes. We should not have encountered them if we had been able to avoid them; but fcince they came we have utyler gone them and have made the most of them, Have they been productive of evil or good? There is little doubt that in the disad vantages endured there is one great advantage which is of great value to our people. This advan tage has come in the form of teaching our people the lesson of economy. Naturally we are an extravagant people. This is tfue of all classes in the South. Lib eral to a fault- We have had but slight regard for little things. In New England men have become wealthy on that which many a Southerner has wasted. This spirit of extravagance shows itself not only in the great expenditures which our people make, but in the fimall ones also- In almost every thing there is the spirit of lavish* jnent. But stern necessity has taught us the lesson of retrench ment. We find that we do about as well on a small expenditure us on a largo one. in many instances. We also find that we can do as well without many things as with them, when, necessity forces y,s to the. adoption of such a course. A false, or incorrect idea of propriety has. until recent years, prevented many of our people from selling articles raised on the farm and realizing, great profit from the same. Some time ago a farmer in Connecticut nought a half acre of rocky ground, cleared it of its atones, planted it in strawberries p-;u realized S3OOO from the sale of the fruit. A young lady in Richmond, Va., used a small plot of ground for double violets, and realized a single winter SIOOO. A lady having a vast quantity of ex cel lent fruits on hand converted them into bright, beautiful, tooth some preserves, and realized an amazing sum for the same. Those are mentioned to illustrate the principle of turning to advantage the elements constantly within our reach. We have learned from one who stayed for awhile in the families of the Vanderbilts that they never receive a package of goods, but it m carefully unwrapped, the wrap ping paper folded and put aside, the twj.ne wound on idle spools and put away for family use, or else dis posed of after the accumulation of a given quantity. Our people, even the poorest of them are dis posed to laugh at these things as beneath their attention, but they /ire really worthy of consideration. & turfy Mature and she is a most economical mother. She looses nothing. The fuel consumed is ♦only a change in the conditioned #hat fuel, irrfhe vapory- smoke ascends are elements that tf.inti'ibute to the production of fiber elements. The breath of fhe ox contributes to the grazed stubble from which he plucks his .grass. Mere is the lesson simple and brief brought continually before our minds. We have a re jcioi* most fertile in resources. We have soils of every possible va riety ; a climate which is * per petual delight and our people might become the thriftiest on the giolie, if they only have the minds to become such- Nor is this extravagance.

Not very bad we think. Of courßa there is a hoiue-like feeling about the name of old Jackson ;_but some day, wo can not tell how soon, we think our address will read soirn thing like the above heading. This matter has been quietly talked before and is bong talked again, and it will continue to be talked until, something will be done. | Jt would be necessary now to {change the State Constiution in ] order to create anew county and I this would probably be impossi- I ble. But we think it would not be impossible for us to be cut off into Banks county. There are many reasons why we should be. Banks is a small county and Jackson is a very large one. A part of Wilson, Newtown and Harrisburg and the whole of Min ishes district could be cut off to Banks and still leave Jackson plenty of territory. Harmony Grove wants a court house. If we are not already too big, the time will come when we will be too big to go away from homo to do our courting. Banks is greatly in need of a court house and if our sister Homer will excuse our frankness, Banks is greatly in need of a town in which to build a court house, Jf Harmony Grove could only get cut off into Banks county we feel -confident they would build the bounty a hand some modern court houso for the privilege of having it moved here. It would be more convenient for Maysville to come here than to go to Homer and Jefferson* We be lieve they would prefer it, It would be move convenient for the thousand or more voters who would be cut of in the territory ! named to come to Harmony Grove than it would he to go to Jeffer son. It will be more convenient for fully one-half of Banks coun ty to attend to their court busi ness in Harmony Grove than it would bo in Homer. Of course it would be rather inconvenient for a few in the extreme upper part of Banks county who do not come to Harmony Grove to do their trading, but this arrangement would undoubtedly benefit three or four citizens where it would in convenience one, and the majority should have the preference Lets work on this matter. It is impor tant. The people in and around Mays* ville and Nicholson could jump on the train any time and come to court at Harmony Grove in stead of riding through mud and dust to Homer and Jefferson. The citizens of Harrisburg, Bushville, Davids, etc., coitie to Harmony Grove to do their trading any way. It is the proper thing to do. Lets do it if we can. People- Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy it Electric Bitters. This medicine does not stimulate and contains no whiskey nor other intoxicant, hut acts as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, adding strength and giving tone to the or gans, thereby anting Nature in the performance of the functions. Elec tric Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids digestion. Old people find it just exactly what they need. Price fifty cents and SI.OO per hottle at L. J. Sharp A Bro.’s drug store. Rev. A. J- Diaz, an eminent Bap tist divine is yairaar, CubuT It is alleged that he had certain papers on his person unfriendly to the Spanish cause. We would not loose our respect for Diaz if the accusation were true. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phobe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was toltl by her doctors she bad Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery complete ly cured’ her and she says il saved her life. Mr. Thou, jiggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption. Tiied without result everything eise then bought one b-t --tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery' and in two weeks was cured, lie is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wouderfull efficacy of tins medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free • rial bot'les at L. .1. Sharp A" Hro.’s drug stoic, The Lease of the North eastern. The Northeastern railroad will i be leased on .May fifth for a-derni of ■ twenty years- We understand! there are quite a number of prom inent men in Athens and other { places who will bid for the road, j Under the State management the road has paid a very good djvi- 1 jdend. The Southern claimed the ! road did not pay operating ex* {ponses. We hardly see how this could be true as we learn from ! pretty reliable source that the ! freight receipts of the road in Feb ruary alone wire over $5,000. It |is claimed that neither the Sea board nor the Southern want it,, and the lease will fall to some pri vate corporation or individual. It the Southern. did want it they have to much business sense to let any body know it. It would not surprise us to see it tui’n up t in their hands. We believe they | could and would do more for the stations along the road than indi viduals could do. _ i Doe* Lots of Good -You Will Find it so if You Try if Mrs. T. J. Meador has kind words .to say about Tyner’s Dyspepsia Rem eday. “For many years i have suf fered with dyspepsia and nervous ness. I have been taking Tyner’s Dyspepsia Remedy and find that is doing me lots of good and I am now in better health than I have been for years. li, relieves me in a few minutes of indigestion.” If you are suffering with iadiges tiou or dyspepsia of any character whatever, it would be to your in terest to try a boyle of iliis remedy.

So far as we have seen only one thing in Harry Edwards’ prize story to object $o When lie de scribes Marv as dancing a break down at, a negro frolic, wo think lie is not true to life. No respect able young Southern woman would be guilty of such a thing; and Mary is supposed to he a gem of Southern womanhood. Trial by Jury. Instead of a jury of twelve men, we propose to 'empanel the whole pubiic, men and Women, and simply ask them to read the testimony and make up THE VERDICT. Now for the testimony. Dr. Mar tin, of Atlanta, testifies that he has used Stuart’s Gin and Buchu in Ins practice with fine results, and that he has even cured Bright’s dis ease of the kidneys with it, afle: all other remedies failed. Dr. Contain, of Hex, Ca, testifies that he has b ea prescribing Stuart’s Gin and Buchu for some time, and that it is the best remedy he knows for kidney, urinary and all bladder troubles. Mr. E. D. L. Mobley, of Atlanta, testifies that lie suffeied for years with some obscure kidney trouble, wnicli at limes gave him great pain and suffering. Ah hough he tried all manner of remedies, both regular and irregular, he found no relief un til he took STUART’S GIN AND BUCTHJ. It made a .perfect cure. We etvuld add much of same kind of testimony, but space and time forbid. If you suffer, try a bottle; tt will not disappoint you. Sold by all drug gists. Wedding Bells. Mr. r. J.
